The Victorian Multicultural Commission is urging communities to get tested and follow the following advice to curb the spread of the coronavirus. According to a statement from Chairperson Vivienne Nguye, there are coronavirus exposure sites. “If you, or your friends or family, went to or worked at any of the exposure sites listed here at the times indicated, please follow the advice given for that particular site.”
There are only five reasons to leave home
- Shopping for food and supplies that you need.
- Care and caregiving.
- Exercise
- Work, if you can’t do it from home.
- Get vaccinated
- If you’re out, you must wear a face mask.
Support is available. If you are worried about losing wages, you may be eligible for a $450 payment. If you test positive or are a close contact of someone who tests positive, a $1500 payment is available, so you can stay at home.
More information on supports is available here.
Checking in at venues and facilities (including supermarkets) helps with contact tracing and keeps Victoria safe and open. When you check-in, you create a record of the time and date you visited a venue. This means that if there is a COVID-19 outbreak, contact tracers can quickly access your contact information and get in touch with you, if you’ve visited a public exposure site. This will help to contain a COVID-19 outbreak.
Information on how businesses can set up QR codes is available here.
Getting vaccinated helps protect you from getting sick from COVID-19. The vaccines being used in Australia are very effective at preventing serious illness and loss of life from COVID-19. Vaccination centres are open to people who are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
Please note that individuals aged 40-49 are now eligible to get vaccinated in Victoria.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
